[Dailydrool] Seeking Advice on Cushings

[Ffrogger at aol.com]

Pam,I keep this paragraph ready to paste into emails for anybody that asks  
about Cushings because of the experience we had. I just want people to  be 
aware of the options so they can talk to their vet and make an informed  
decision.  Just ask about Trilostane as an option. Lots of drool for  the 
houndie and their humans.

Make sure you look into Trilostane for treatment. When our Rosie was  first 
diagnosed she was put on Lysodren. It used to be the only option for  
cushings. That is the drug they also use in humans who have inoperable  adrenal 
cancer. It has a lot of side effects and is a lot more  toxic. We almost lost 
Rosie due to the side effects and it didn't  really control the Cushings.  
Trilostane works in a different way, it  sort of just blocks how the 
steroids are processed by the body. It is much less  toxic with fewer side effects. 
And...best of all it also worked much better for  Rosie. It controlled her 
symptoms, she was much more active and was better than  she had been in 
years. Obviously discuss it with your vet  but we just wish we had known about 
Trilostane  sooner
